The theme isn't "popular" it's "worst". And the issue with "what the REAL Americans eat" is that the instant someone brings that up, all the Americans act like they only eat "multicultural" foods and they're special for doing so. Can't tell you the amount of times I heard people argue that America has "culture", because there's an Italian restaurant around the corner. Ho-hos, Ding Dongs, Twinkies, shitty chocolate that tastes like barf, deep-fried or barbecue-sauce-drenched anything - those are the "American snack" staples for a reason. Poptarts and hot pockets aren't universally known for no reason. And they're both arguably terrible in both taste and terms of what they do to your body.

I'm gonna be completely honest, I have never once in my life heard of "Rap Snacks", Snaps, or Flamin hot macncheese in my life as an American. Also you should've just picked original Goldfish or Flavor Blasted Cheddar Goldfish for those, not pizza flavor. Picking wacky flavors of things with staple flavors is just setting yourself up for pain and discomfort, which is why I'm happy the Pop Tart flavor was such a classic in Brown Sugar Cinnamon. However as Twinkies go, I agree I have no clue why they have any amount of popularity, they're just gross greasy sugar cakes and should not be something legal to sell.

[@user-rm8jv7hv4z]

I don't get why these things are around I'm looking at other comments and it seems like all of us other Americans seem to by specific types of food, kinda makes me wonder who's actually buying these horrible creations like flaming hot mac n cheese

9:36 This whole discussion had my French ass very confused. So, raisin is the French word for grape but is used in English to describe dried grapes, and raisins are called "raisins secs" in French, literally "dried grapes". Also, the words plum and prune. Prune is the French word for plum while we call prunes "pruneaux".

[@ANME1rocker]

That makes things make more sense.

[@UltraMegaChicken]

Modern English is a bit of a clusterfuck. Water and daughter rhyme. Indestructable means not destructable, but inflammable and flammable mean the same thing. Octopods, octopi, and octopuses are correct plural nouns for octopus. These things happen because English is an amalgamation language. Not only does English accept and incorporate the words of foreign languages, but those words are then turned subject to the inherent intricacies of English itself. Wild.

[@itsgonnabeanaurfromme]

​@@UltraMegaChicken yep it tales influences from many others. That's what makes it rich and interesting. The whole "english is a mess" shit is just so played out.

Σταφίδες and Σταφύλια respectively. 2)Not all grapes can make wine/are used for wine. The variety used for raisins is harvested in August while grapes for wine are harvested in September. 3)The reason why we call raisins different is I guess the same reason why we call ice not "frozen water" or steam "boiled water".

In US universities, it's not the fourth year that is really unnecessary, but the first. Students are expected to take General Education courses that are a bit of every subject, and are somewhat uniform across all majors (usually called 101 classes), and then the next three years you actually study what you want your degree in.

[@Dan_Roland]

Ha unless you join your school’s honors college that makes you take their courses too dragging the gen eds aaaaall through the years plus summer and winter sessions

[@kougamishinya6566]

In the UK our final exams before Uni basically cover what you do in 1st year US. The thing is though, Further Maths also covers most of UK uni first year, so this would be almost half the US university course done before we even get to Uni

[@seraphimtear7700]

Plus they make you take classes that have nothing to do with your degree and force you to learn multiple languages and a physical education course. It's a waste of time and money. If you removed all the classes you don't need, you can turn a 4 year degree into about 18 to 26 months of learning.

14:00 Garnt isn't very wrong tho, wine can indeed be made from various fruits, even vegetables and flowers.

Like, they mention vodka and gin and stuff, but apple wines, flower wines, etc. exist too.

Are they normally made in a toaster? Cuz the few times I've had pop tarts I microwaved them as well, bc I also don't have a toaster.

I feel so called out. American food is indeed mostly preservatives and sugar. Recently, I found myself cutting out food with preservatives and sugar, as a result, I lost a significant amount of weight. Before this time I never really thought about the sugar content or the chemicals in the food I was eating. I feel happier and healthier, less generally sick. I believe many Americans -like me- grow up this way and are this way. It's way we have an obesity crisis, that's been ongoing for some time. We don't really think about what we put in our bodies. Its quick and efficient to eat something pre-made and full of chemicals then it is to make fresh meals. It also doesn't help that most of these products (i.e poptarts, sugary cereals, etc) are all marketed towards children increasing the likelihood of childhood obesity in America. These products are also relatively cheap in comparison to 'healthy' products of a similar variety. In America it is considered by many lower income people that eating healthy is a luxury as something unhealthy inexpensive. Many lower income people eat mostly carbs, and sugar which is very cheap compared to meat and fresh produce. Also fun fact, anything unhealthy has a luxury tax on them (From soda to fast food).
